"The Queen of fire is Hellfire"

Poseidon walks into the castle in Hell as if he owns the place. His eyes scan the place and see that every guard has been replaced by his brother, of course he had them quickly replaced after what their sister did. Going into the throne room where his brother currently sits bored on his throne. "Brother, what an unpleasant surprise. Have you not heard? My darling Queen will burn you in Hellfire if you try to take our sister" Lucifer says with a smirk but when he sees the serious look in his brother's eyes he instantly worries, yet doesn't show it on his face.

"I fear I have not come here for our sister, at least not now. As it so happens, I'm yet again the bringer of bad news and this you will not like, little brother" He tells the one on the throne. His eyes never leaving him and he knows that he is worried but doesn't want to seem weak in the eyes of his brother. "Whatever it is you have to say, I am not interested. Find someone else to bother" The crimson red eyes glowing man says to his brother who only walks closer to him.

"I fear I cannot do that. You see, it has come to my attention that the world is slowly dying, it only started in the middle of the night and now it is increasing, and that got me thinking about the young and incredible beautiful Arabella. She is after all the reason the world is still alive and I fear something has happened to her" Poseidon says which only makes his brother angry. His red eyes darkness with fury. "Never again shall you call her beautiful, you are unworthy of calling her that. Only I can say the word" Lucifer calls out to his brother who only chuckles lightly.

"I had just told you the world is dying and the only thing you heard was how I called your not yet wife beautiful?" He asks him while he rolls his eyes, his brother really is something else and when it comes to Arabella he really becomes someone else, more protective and possessive and softer. He might be the King of Hell and the most ruthless King to ever live but he is slowly growing soft even when he tries to deny it. And it is all thanks and for the girl that is now in danger.

Lucifer stands up and walks over to his brother, ready to release his beast out fat his brother and just kill him right where he stands and he will enjoy every last second of it. "As for Arabella she is soundly asleep. Nothing is wrong with her and it is I who shall be the judge of that. And before you ask, you may not see her as she is resting as she has not had a good sleep for some time and now she needs rest which I intend to bring to her" He says as he remembers the kiss they shared.

He had to control his every instinct to not do anything to her that she doesn't want and he might regret. "As much as you would hate me brother, I need to see her. The whole world depends on it, on her. Do not make me do things that I shall regret" Poseidon says with anger laced in his voice as he has had enough of his brother. Lucifer only smirks at him but his eyes darken as his anger begs to surface. "Your Queen is asleep and like that she shall remain until she herself will wake up. If you as much as attempt to go near her, I swear brother that I won't hesitate to burn you" Lucifer threatens his brother.

Fire and water are mortal enemies yet both care for the young girl who has fallen prey to the darkness. Both will not be the first one to surrender and neither of them will want to be the loser in the fight. "Well then, Hades, you should know that I respect your rules here and I don't use my water against you in your own kingdom but make no mistake, that girl is in more danger than you know and I will protect her with my life" Poseidon speaks.

Both their feelings getting the best of them. The throne room growing hotter as the King of Fire is getting more and more angry. Arabella might unleash Hellfire on those she wishes when she's angry, but he doesn't just use fire to harm his enemies. He invented some of the most creative murder ways the human and the rest of the worlds know about and he certainly knows ways to torture the body, human, creature or family alike.

Thalia and Jaxon walk down the hallways, exploring the castle that never seems to end. Their hands holding and smiles on their faces. Both of them have been dressed into the finest clothes. Thalia dressed in a magenta color gown while Jaxon wears a black suit suited for royalty. Both of them looking like royalty, as all it took were clothes that neither of them could ever afford. "What will you be doing around the castle from now on?" Jaxon asks after a moment of silence, they've come to the point where neither of them know what to say and the silence has gotten uncomfortable.

She looks at him as they stop in front of the portal room, but she feels dark energy coming from there that she ignores. "Queen Arabella... your sister has made me her new maid. It's the best work anyone can have. Serving a Queen. It's a dream come true. Not only is she my friend my she is my Queen and her presence is like being reborn. One could use that where only darkness and death is around. I also get to do what I wish around here. She has granted me the privilege of being my own person" She says excitingly.

The woman has gone from being a slave to a maid of the Queen and not only a maid but her friend and having the Queen, the woman that is a Goddess in the eyes of the people of the Underworld is not only good because she's everything but it is also a chance to show everyone that she can be good, as she is in Hell. "She's so important?" He asks her. The thought about her being a real Queen really hasn't been taking in by his mind, the little girl he raised being a Queen.

"Yes. She's everything. She's kind and the most beautiful girl I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Serving her is a dream come true. You should know that before she came here everything was dark. This place wasn't lit up. No fires around and nothing. It was gloomy and dark and horrible. People blamed themselves for their sins and punished others like me. But, as soon as this world felt her enter, everyone changed and not just their form. Some became kinder. Wanted to show their Queen that want a second chance. Fires all around came from the ground, lighting the land up" She says as if she's remembering it and she is.

"There was light for the first time in so long. We all felt her and we felt her kindness and her life force. We wanted to prove ourselves in her eyes. And if you ask me, I'd say our King has gone a bit soft for her. He would punish anyone he'd see and now he doesn't. He, too, wants to prove himself" She tells him. After hearing her words on this, Jaxon doesn't know what to say. His brother had told him so many things about how bad this world was.

But, perhaps Arabella, his little sister was taken care of. More than they could ever. She has everything. Food, shelter, clothes and people waiting on her hand and foot that would literally commit suicide if she commanded it. "I think we should go. I don't like that room" She says and attempts to walk away with him but he doesn't move from his spot. "What is in there?" He asks her and she looks at him with shock and surprise as she has been feeling the dark energy off there while he could not?

Then she has to remind herself that he is still human while she's a Demon and he doesn't feel the same thing as she does, and she has realized that he doesn't even know what her true form is. This is Hell and Demons run around the place, only they are in their human form to please their human Queen. Only what they don't know is that their Queen is and never was human at all. "That is the portal room. Used by the King to travel to other world. Expect the human one as there are the gates for that" Thalia tells him as if he was supposed to know that.

"And it is very bad to be in there. I don't like being the one to say this but there were rumors of the Queen going in there and being taken somewhere dangerous. None know what happened to her but they know that when she came back she was different. I felt a slight chance. Her every emotion runs deep in this world and believe me when looked hard enough you can see it for yourself" She says and she knows that she has said too much as she's still talking to a human and humans normally aren't allowed in this place.

Normally a human can't enter the Underworld as it is only a place for the dead of the human world but is different. "We should really go. I don't like that" Thalia says and this time when she tries to leave he does follow her but she knows that he has many questions for her that he wants answered. It was her fault for doing it with a human and now she has told him information that he was not supposed to know. "What was she like as a child?" She asks before he could ask those questions.

Changing the subject, she's very good at that. And she does feel confident and safe around him. Perhaps it is because he isn't judging her for the sins she has committed or harming her because she's beneath him. The woman can truly see how her Queen turned out to be sweet and kind and gentle. She was raised that way. Jaxon chuckles as he begins to remember everything. "You know, Arabella was a good child. A bit magical but my brother and I we always knew she was meant for something big" He tells her.

"When she was a child, we had this game where one would take one object from anywhere in the house and hide it, while the other two would figure out which object it was and then look for it. Arabella used to hide things and then forget where she put them. You cannot guess how many things are still missing to this day because of that game" Jaxon says slightly laughing. "You did not punish her for that?" Thalia asked shocked. The human world did not like women and she was always brought up to the fact that women are supposed to be punished for their wrongs.

"God heavens no, of course not. Only laugh at it. She was always adorable and hearing her laugh was the greatest joy of all. She was a special one and having her turn out to be a Queen feels good, makes me believe we did something right by our lives. Before she was born we weren't good. There were times where we would take parts in things that should be considered evil..." He trails off, not believing that he's about to pour out his past to a woman he's only been intimate with once and barely knows her.

She gives him a confused look, not believing that the two brothers that raised a kindhearted girl and a Queen were evil in their past. It doesn't make sense to her, but then on the other hand she is not as good either. There is a reason why she did end up in the Underworld or Hell as humans call it. "In our village there were times that newborns were burned for their sins and we would watch as people burned them. My only regret is that we did not stop them in any of those times" He tells her and she gasps.

Never has she heard of burning newborns and never would she have believed that the men that raised someone as kind as Arabella would do something like this. "Why?" She asks holding back a sob. An evil chuckle comes from behind them. Startled they both turn around to see Luna standing there with a wicked grin on her face and her eyes show nothing but evil inside of them that frighten the both of them more than they care to admit, even to themselves.

"Oh, please do tell. I am enjoying this story so far" She says, her voice sending chills down their spine and she laughs at their fear of her. The fear she causes is what she likes as she loves nothing more than to kill and murder and frighten people. She walks closer to them. "I believe it's rude to not answer when a Lady higher in status such as yourself is speaking to you" She tells them and she goes over closer to them. The shadows slowly closing in on them. Torches have been placed on few hallways to light up the place for the humans.

Thalia turns to Jaxon and he has a pure look of fear on his face which neither of the girls understand but one of them is enjoying. Thalia might be afraid of Luna but Jaxon doesn't know who she is or what she has done, in fact Thalia doesn't even know it but she knows she did something bad as she has heard about her before and she doesn't like her, and the dark energy she has is too overpowering for her to handle. Luna raises one of her eyebrows at him, waiting for an answer.

"I know you" He suddenly says, shocking both girls. Hidden in Luna's eyes is shock but her anger and wickedness hides it well form view. "Yes, I believe you do now. My brother is the King and your sister is my friend and the Queen" Luna speaks, getting uninterested in this conversation. The only reason she's there is because her only friend is asleep and she has nothing better to do than cause fear and be a brother to someone else, no one is going to throw her out. And she's also avoiding her older brother in the throne room.

"That is not it. I've seen you before" He tells her and she shakes her head. "You should know that is impossible. I've been locked up and hadn't seen a single soul since I was broken out if my prison few weeks ago" She says and doesn't even know why she's telling them, perhaps so they'd fear her even more now that they know she has been locked up and must have done something bad. Thalia watches this with questions in her mind and confusion written all over her face, not undemanding this at all.

Jaxon comes closer to her, never minding his fear of the girl. "You were in my dreams" He then says, which does make her furrow in confusion and anger but then realization washes over her. She turns around and walks away from them without giving them an explanation of any of this. "What happened?" Thalia asks when Luna is so far gone that they can't see her and want to make sure she's not hiding in the shadows as she's known for that. He shakes his head. "I do not know" He tells her before both of them turn around and continue walking in the direction that they were always going in before getting interrupted by Luna.

"Tell me more about you. My life isn't that special, the only important is Arabella and if we were to talk about her, we could be here for a decade" He says and slightly laughs. The thought of his sister always brightening his mood. Still in the back of his mind, he's still trying to figure things out of what happened with Luna and how she could have been in his dreams. He's already figured out that she knows how but she doesn't want to tell him which leads him to no where.

"There isn't much to tell. I'm not very special. I did a terrible thing before I died and ended up here but this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Queen Arabella is the best thing that ever happened to me" She says, holding back on everything she wishes to say but is afraid of him judging her, then again she can't really judge him either because he watches new born babies burn. She doesn't know the rules of all the sins, yet she's sure that is a sin and he along with his brother shall end up in Hell when they pass away, at least now they know what they're dealing with.

Jaxon opens his mouth to speak but closes it when he sees Grayson looking angry in front of them. He doesn't know if he's still angry at what he was angry at dinner or if he's angry at his younger brother for being with a woman. At this point, he can never tell with his brother. It is like he's another person which does frighten him a lot, his brother has always been someone he could trust and count on and now he doesn't even recognize him.

"Brother, I must speak with you. Now" Grayson urgently says. Thalia takes that as her hint and walks back the same way they came. Grayson goes over to his brother and Jaxon can see the anger in his eyes, however he can also see that he's not angry at him which for him is a relief yet not a big one, he's still angry. "What is it?" He asks, worried about his brother. "I believe this place is harming us" Grayson tells him which shocks him to the core.
